Procps-ng-3.3.10
The Procps-ng package contains programs for monitoring processes.
Approximate build time:
0.1 SBU
Required disk space:
17 MB
6.30.1. Installation of Procps-ng
6.30.2. 32-bit Installation
Now prepare procps-ng for 32-bit compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix= \
--libdir=/usr/lib32 \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/procps-ng-3.3.10 \
--disable-static \
--disable-kill \
CC="gcc -m32" CXX="g++ -m32"
The meaning of the configure options:
-
--disable-kill
-
This switch disables building the kill command that will be
installed by the Util-linux package.
Compile the package:
make
The test suite needs some custom modifications for LFS. Remove the
test that fails when scripting does not use a tty device. To run
the test suite, run the following commands:
sed -i -r 's|(pmap_initname)\\\$|\1|' testsuite/pmap.test/pmap.exp
make check
Install the package:
make install
Finally, move essential files to a location that can be found if
/usr is not mounted.
mv -v /usr/bin/pidof /bin
mv -v /usr/lib32/libprocps.so.* /lib32
ln -sfv ../../lib32/$(readlink /usr/lib32/libprocps.so) /usr/lib32/libprocps.so
Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform:
make clean
6.30.3. x32 ABI Installation
Now prepare procps-ng for x32 ABI compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--exec-prefix= \
--libdir=/usr/libx32 \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/procps-ng-3.3.10 \
--disable-static \
--disable-kill \
CC="gcc -mx32" CXX="g++ -mx32"
The meaning of the configure options:
-
--disable-kill
-
This switch disables building the kill command that will be
installed by the Util-linux package.

6.30.4. 64-bit Installation
Now prepare procps-ng for 64-bit compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr \

--libdir=/usr/lib \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/procps-ng-3.3.10 \

and swap memory) in the system
|
|
pgrep
|
Looks up processes based on their name and other
attributes
|
|
pidof
|
Reports the PIDs of the given programs
|
|
pkill
|
Signals processes based on their name and other
attributes
|
|
pmap
